Did you know that hanging lights on a Christmas tree is one of the
three most stressful situations in an on-going relationship?
Psychiatrist's claim the other two danger zones are
teaching your mate to drive and wallpapering.
And since they are rarely wrong on these things.
I rushed to send you an emergency prompt list of :
Things Not To Say When Hanging Lights on the Christmas Tree.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You've got two red lights right next to each other, dummy.
You're supposed to go yellow, green, red, blue, not yellow, red, red, green, blue..."

"Up a little higher. You can reach it. Go on, try."

"What the hell do you do to these lights when you put them away every year? Tie them in knot?"

"Come away from that aluminum ladder, kids. I'm going to fry that sucker."

"If you're not going to do it right, don't do it at all. Don't just throw them on, like you do the icicles. You're worse than your father."

"Give me that!"

"You've got the whole thing on the tree upside-down. The electric pluggee thing should be down here at the bottom, not up at the top."

"I don't care if you have found another two strings, I'm done!"

"You've just wound 'em around and around - I thought we agreed it shouldn't look like a spiral this year?"

"Have you been drinking?"

"Where's the cat?"
 
"Hmm, smells like something is burning"

"I wonder what these would look like around your neck?"

"Has anyone seen Grandma?"
 
"The tree is decorated nice, but where are the Xmas lights?"

"Xmas lights? I thought you put them on already?"
 
"Daddy, where's the tree?"

"I think its under there somewhere."
 
Honey, I swear it will only take a few minutes. Besides I love hanging the lights with you.

Where did that puddle of water come from?

Why don't you plug it in for me? Then backing away.

Who needs instructions?

Go buy another package of replacement bulbs. How am I supposed to know what kind? Remember I don't know anything. Why don't you ask the know it alls at the hardware store. (This has to be said very very sarcastically to really work)

If you wanted someone who would hang the lights like a professional, you should have married a professional.
 
"Why are all the lights orange?"

"B/c they were on sale from Halloween"


~~~or~~~


"How come all the lights are condensed in the center of the tree?"

"B/c I didn't feel like untangling the ball of lights"
